When it comes to pieces of media I love, nothing comes close to the Darkness. Which is why I'm hoping to add a little to Jackie's (video game version) profile. Right now I'm mainly dead set on changing the intelligence section. I think the summary is a bit of a downplay. In the first game, when Jackie goes to Hell, on both occassions, we see his incredible adaptability when it comes to weapons and vehicles. He's able to use WW1 era weaponry like an absolute pro, including the tank's machine gun when he's charging at the Darkness castle alongside his Great Grandfather. Jackie also navigates the trenches, launching attacks on various Demon Bunkers along the way.

I think the following line should be added.

"Genius in terms of firearms. Able to utilize WW1 era weapons and vehicles effectively"

Or something along those lines.


I'll also touch Endurance since there isn't a description for that. The main feat that comes to mind is the iron maiden section from Darkness 2. Even after getting the **** tortured out of him by getting thrown into an iron maiden while getting grilled alive, Jackie picks up his Dad's shotgun and starts killing all the cultists he sees without even possessing any Darkness powers. Keep in mind, Jackie can't heal, meaning he's still bleeding, grilled, and full of holes.

The following description should be added for Endurance.

"After suffering grueling injuries and excessive burns inside an iron maiden, Jackie is able to escape and fight his way through a cultist infested compound in order to retrieve his powers"

Again these can probably be worded better, so who is ever in control of hos profile feel free to make my descriptions sound way better.

And there with standard equipment, I feel his Darkness Guns should be added.
 
This is a bit of a bump but while I haven't played it I think the Darkness looks neat so

Endurance seems good, ideally you should add a video scan, I don't think being able to use WW1 firearms is a Genius feat per se, it's notable just not that high
 
As someone who has played through both games, mostly everything is good.

I wouldn't count those intelligence feats as enough to gain Genius however, something like Gifted would work better imo.
